Honestly, the only way to get anything approaching reliable "fractional scaling" that I've found, is to lower the resolution of the smaller monitor by a ratio similar to its relative screen size. e.g. in my case, I have two 4k monitors (one external, one a laptop monitor) where the laptop monitor is about 1/3 of the physical size of the external monitor. Dropping the internal monitor's resolution from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 finally makes everything the same size on both screens - without any slow down - only it's a bit of a waste of a 4k display :-/
